Continuing education and international affairs
THURSDAYS FROM 4 PM IN THE LERNWERKSTATT (AR-D 7104) OR ONLINE
Who are Chads, Alphas, Red Piller, Tradwives, Stay-at-home Girlfriends, Looksmaxxers, Incels or Femcels - and what is considered 'real masculinity'? Anti-feminist online communities are increasingly shaping digital discourse and spreading misogynistic ideologies that reach young people in particular via social media. The event series "Manosphere - Antifeminisms in Schools" for student teachers sheds light on these developments and asks what challenges and intersectional feminist options for action arise from this for schools and educational practice.
The individual events can be attended independently of each other (registration deadline in unisono: 1 week before the respective date) and can be credited as part of LehramtPLUS
